The purpose of meditation is to make our mind peaceful by familiarising our mind with positive and happy states. The more positive or virtuous our mind, the calmer and more peaceful it becomes.

Our drop-in classes are suitable for both the beginner and more experienced practitioner alike. They are a perfect introduction to Buddhist meditation and positive thinking.

We currently host classes in our meditation centre in Attleborough as well as branch classes in Norwich, Wymondham and Bury St Edmunds. See below for more details. or see Whats On.

We also host daily meditation classes and chanted prayers, see our monthly planner for more details.
